Redwood Region Audubon Society

We provide great tools (ever used an extractigator?), wonderful company, and the opportunity to make a difference for the birds. Join us behind WalMart to help remove invasive plants, pick up garbage, and enjoy the beautiful stretch of the trail. Light, packaged refreshments offered. Please bring your own water.

It has been decades since this stretch of the waterfront provided habitat for native birds, plants and animals, and we are working to change that! Wigi Wetlands lies along the Eureka Waterfront Trail behind the Bayshore Mall. Redwood Region Audubon Society, in conjunction with the Humboldt Trail Stewards, is working to create bird-friendly habitat by removing invasive plants and garbage.

This section of the trail contains dry lands as well as seasonal wetlands, and a salt water marsh. A meadow that was filled with Scotch broom has been a main focus, and there is now just a fringe of the invasive plants left to be removed. River otters were spotted nearby!

Closer to the bay, one area was covered in white sweet clover, completely blocking the view of the bay, and covering a lot of native plants. The clover has been removed, the bay is visible, and the native plants are flourishing there! Cedar waxwings paid us a visit to enjoy the twinberries we had uncovered.

Our workdays are the 4th Saturday of each month (December 2021 excepted - Merry Christmas!), 9:00 - 11:00. Meet us behind WalMart. We provide awesome tools, great company, and light refreshments.
